Question 4

does abortion retained products cause miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of question: Is the question that if you had an abortion and have retained products do you have prolonged bleeding- then yes. Are you asking if you have retained products after an abortion does that cause a miscarriage? That answer is that the bleeding associated with retained products is not called a miscarriage if it occurs after an abortion.

Question 5

med. abortion may 29, doc says u.s. is showing retained placental material, 11 weeks later and i need d&c, is this possible? or is it something else?

Accepted Answer

Possible: I am not an Obstetrician, but I have heard of retained products of conception (retained POC) after elective abortion. It is usually a good idea to evacuate retained POC by D&amp;C, as the material can only be a source for infection or other problems. Retained POCs is not common, but not uncommon either - doctors do the best they can. The oldest POC foun, according to Ripley's BION, is more than 60 yrs

Question 6

abortion of preganacy at 16 weeks on 28 may bleeding stopped week ago but scan shows retained products of conception. what is this will affect future ?

Accepted Answer

D&amp;C: If you have retained products of conception (tissue of the placenta or fetus) it needs to be removed. It should not affect future pregnancies.  Follow up with your OB/GYN ASAP.

Question 7

after abortion, do you have a little bit of retained products inside the uterus?

Accepted Answer

Post termination: A small about of tissue and blood is expected after a termination. If the bleeding, cramping or amount of "tissue" passing vaginally increases you should get help and perhaps a pelvic ultrasound. Retained tissue may get infected and cause irregular uterine bleeding.

Question 8

at 5th week medical abortion done.after one week retained products in upper uterine cavity 17*17mm.is d&c necessary?or to wait until next mensuration

Accepted Answer

"House"cleaning time: Whenever a medical abortion is incomplete as is your case, there is a risk that the retained products of conception will get infected. Most often, a D &amp; C (Dilation &amp; Curettage( not "dusting &amp; cleaning" ), is done to remove the material to prevent infection which can be serious. Ask you Abortion MD what choice is needed.

Question 9

i had a d&c procedure yesterday for retained products followed up with an iud insertion after my abortion a month ago andi was wondering how soon can i (externally only) use a vibrator? will that be too much on my cervix/uterus?

Accepted Answer

External: no harm, will not cause problems. No penetration, as the relatively open cervix, may allow infection.

Question 10

positive result after 3 months from abortion. normal?

Accepted Answer

Positive Pregancy: Test result?  Assume you have been sexually active. It sounds like you may be pregnant again.
